This document is a page from a legal filing that analyzes the psychological underpinnings of sexual offending, citing numerous academic sources. It discusses concepts like 'offence scripts' and 'mental simulations' as automatic action plans for offenders, and explores the 'need to belong' as a potential motivator stemming from dysfunctional backgrounds and low self-esteem. The text also defines and describes 'grooming the child' as a common form of sexual grooming, comparing it to adult courtship and outlining different dynamics in intrafamilial abuse.

This document is page 32 of 43 from Exhibit 397-1 filed on October 29, 2021, in the case US v. Ghislaine Maxwell (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE). The content is an excerpt from an academic paper authored by S. Craven et al., discussing the definitions and psychology of 'sexual grooming.' It critiques definitions that rely too heavily on the clinical diagnosis of 'paedophile,' arguing that such definitions reinforce stereotypes (e.g., 'dirty old men') and fail to account for offenders known to the victim.
